Chapter 57 Hot Spring Village

People who are familiar with each other will say this, but strangers will not say this. So, do you think I am already very familiar with you?

Shen Fu wanted to lower his head and ask the girl who was still nagging her apology.

The anger just now has dissipated, and now I feel warm in my heart. Oh no, it's actually a little hot. After all, her arm is still being held by her like this.

He didn't want to leave, but he didn't know how to stay. After all, he had just gotten angry. Shen Fu felt a little embarrassed to turn around again, and he didn't know how to tell the other person that he was no longer angry.

So he could only stare straight ahead and remain motionless, his body a little stiff.

Seeing that Shen Fu was still silent, Zhou Heng continued to explain to him with specific examples: "Really, we use the word 'cong' quite a lot in daily life. For example, sometimes there are several of us together. When we meet for dinner, some people want to eat this dish, and some people don't want to eat it, so we convince her: 'Just obey us!' That person won't be angry, and basically, they will actually obey in the end. The opinions of the majority, the minority must obey the majority.”

"Also, some people are urged to get married by their families, but they don't want to get married yet. When she talks about it, we will probably laugh at her: 'Just go with it, your arms can't twist your thighs!' There is no teasing. Of course, the person who is being urged will not really find someone to marry at this time." In fact, there is a bit of joking in this situation, but it is better not to mention it now, lest the prince hears it. After that, he went berserk again.

At the end, Zhou Heng also deliberately used the word "obey" again: "I'm sorry for the unintentional remarks. Please, Your Majesty, please ignore the mistakes of others and obey me!"

When he said the last few words, he looked up and saw Shen Fu's Adam's apple twitching. Although he didn't say anything afterwards, he felt that the other party should have listened, so he let go and took the plate of cherries from the desk, and paired it with a pair of With a diligent and sincere look: "Here, let me borrow some flowers to offer to the Buddha as an apology, ask the prince to show my face, and eat some fresh and delicious cherries to calm down!"

If you are still angry, then I don’t care. Zhou Heng feels that his stature is low enough. This is because the other person is younger than him and has cultural differences with him. Otherwise, hum, say it If you still can't listen to so many things, you must be a stubborn person who won't listen to advice. Even if you don't explain, you'd better be so angry that you can't sleep at night!

Fortunately, seeing him waiting eagerly with a plate, the arrogant prince finally knew and hurried down the steps. He took the plate with an expressionless expression, but then took another one. Putting a cherry into his mouth, Zhou Heng clapped his hands in relief and asked with a flattering smile, "How is it? The cherry tastes good, right?"

As soon as the word "tastes very good" came into his mind, Shen Fu quickly turned around and walked to the desk to hide his blush at being told something important, and whispered:

"Be more careful when you speak in the future, and don't just say whatever you want!"

"Yes, yes," Zhou Heng quickly nodded in agreement: "I was too casual. I will use this as a lesson in the future. I can't speak so brainlessly. I can say whatever I want!"

Then he added a little bit arrogantly: "It's a good thing that I'm talking to you, Prince, this time, otherwise something might have gone wrong."

As for what went wrong, Zhou Heng actually never thought about it. She was a doting young lady in the Zhou family before. Everyone was very polite to her after she got here, and she didn't have much contact with people outside the palace. It seems that he said this purely to cater to Shen Fu.

But what Shen Fu heard now was actually the previous sentence "Fortunately, I'm talking to you, Your Majesty". He frowned, but he remembered the unfinished topic before, so he took the opportunity to continue talking to her:

"What I just mentioned is that the person from Tangquan Town did not live alone in that house. There is a possibility that the boatman was there before."

"You are the only one who recognizes him, so Shen is thinking of asking you to go to the eldest sister's village. Firstly, he will take the opportunity to go to Tangquan Town to walk around more. If you see him, can you wait until the boatman comes out to identify him? First, secondly, if it is really him, then continue to see who he is in contact with, whether there is anyone from the Third Princess Zhuangzi, anyway, you will be at the Zhuangzi by then, and you will also need to cooperate with the people outside in this regard."

"Of course, it's not necessarily Zhuangzi who is related to the third princess," Shen Fu said here, fearing that Zhou Heng would bring up something he had never done before. Although he was relatively sure that it was related to the third princess, he still made another move. Explanation: "But Shen feels that since they have chosen Tangquan Town, they will not look far away from the nearby. They must have contacts with some people in the nearby imperial estates. We will see about this later."

"That's right!" When Zhou Heng heard this, he had actually forgotten about the possible rotten peach blossoms of the third princess. He only thought about how to find a chance to identify the murderer: "I think so too, and they will definitely be dead in two days. I will be out and about, especially the boatman, who is confident and thinking that I must be lying somewhere under the Liuhu Lake, so even if someone recognizes him by then, he will not be linked to the murderer, and Even if it were a coincidence that someone recognized him as the boatman on the cruise ship that day, and all four people on the ship were 'dead', who would be able to testify against him?"

It's a pity that the sun is shining brightly, and I didn't expect that I would survive. Huh, let's see where you run away!

"Miss Zhou, please speak." Shen Fu originally wanted to say that he was "dead" or "lying at the bottom of the water" or other unlucky words, but when he thought of the same unobtrusive "Come on" just now, he suddenly felt in his heart. I am also completely relieved:

"There are really no taboos!"

"What's this!" Zhou Heng looked disapproving and said with a smile: "If I didn't say it, wouldn't it still hurt from being beaten on the head? If I said that, I wouldn't be able to sit in front of you and have a good time with you. Chatting on the ground? Don’t worry, this girl is blessed with great fortune, and she will live to be gray-haired and have descendants all over her family, hehe!"

A house full of descendants? Shen Fu couldn't help but laugh. The girl's family really dared to say that she was not ashamed. Moreover, she had dared to swear that "if she couldn't get married, she would die alone". Well, this shows that she really has a big heart.

However, when Zhou Heng said this, the awkward atmosphere had completely disappeared, and Shen Fu planned to end the evening conversation as soon as possible:

"In that case, I will make some arrangements later. Then I will work for the girl and go to the Imperial Mansion over there for a while."

In fact, Zhou Heng was assigned another place before, but now he changed his mind due to the new situation. Shen Fu felt very relaxed: This is good. Compared with the previous arrangement, Miss Zhou's risk is actually smaller. a lot of.

Then he briefly introduced the hot spring village to Zhou Heng:

"The palace originally had a Zhuangzi given by the late emperor, but it has not been used for many years. It is somewhat deserted and uninhabitable." The real situation is that there are only two people in Prince Jing's palace, father and son. The eldest daughter, Princess Shen Yi, has been married for many years, and the two None of the men had any intention of going to the hot springs, so there was only a family of old servants living there. Now, a few maids suddenly came over, not only attracting attention, but also causing a lot of inconvenience.

Only then did Shen Fu realize that the eldest sister, Shen Yi, actually had a hot spring village there: "The eldest sister's village was the dowry of the mother-in-law. It was originally in the name of the mother-in-law's grandmother. Later, when the eldest sister got married, the father and the king decided to give it to her. I have received the dowry, and I will send someone to tell the eldest sister tomorrow, but then I may have to humiliate the girl and become a maid in the village."

There's nothing wrong with this. It's been a while since I've been here. The maids have a lot to do, but at least they don't have to be exposed to wind, sun or rain, and it's not any physical work. Zhou Heng shook his head and said calmly: "You also You know, I'm not a wealthy lady, and although I've never done any maid's work, there's nothing to feel aggrieved about."

Besides, everything must come and go. If you don’t feel aggrieved and do something to help, how can you make the other party sincerely show you the family heirloom?

When Shen Fu saw her answer like this, he couldn't help but raised his head and glanced at her. Since the other party was so happy, he then told her all his plans: "In that case, then you will be a steward of the eldest sister's village. Maid, of course, Shen will let Chunyu follow you and send someone to protect you, don’t worry."

I wanted to let Chunyu take her, but somehow I felt something was wrong, and I felt very optimistic about Miss Zhou, so I just let Chunyu follow her. In this way, she would basically be the boss of the village. Lord:

"Now that the weather is getting hotter and hotter, eldest sister and the others won't go there much. There won't be many things going on in Zhuangzi. Of course, there won't be many people, so you don't have to be too restrictive if you want to come."

However, Zhou Heng misunderstood the meaning of "restraint" and thought that the other party was asking him not to be too restrained there and to take a hot spring bath if he wanted. He suddenly had a little expectation for his new identity in the future.

Although the weather is getting a bit hot now, it’s good to take a dip in the hot springs. One year, I went with a group to get cheap tickets to the hot spring resort in June. Now that it’s just after the Qingming Festival, it’s even better to take a dip. He thanked me.

As for the swimsuits needed for hot spring bathing, I'd better ask Chunyu then. She will go with him anyway.

As for the rest of the business, that is, the business, the situation is not yet clear and there is not much to do. Seeing that Shen Fu also stopped after saying what he just said, Zhou Heng felt that the words were enough, so he asked him: "Your Majesty, is there anything else? Anything else?"

Everything had been said, but Shen Fu didn't want to leave now for some reason. After thinking about it, he asked her again: "Do you have any other questions? But it doesn't matter."

Other questions? Zhou Heng thought for a while and felt that he still wanted to ask the question clearly:

"Your Majesty, let me ask you a question? You can also choose not to answer, just ask: How is the third princess? Is she good-looking?"
